One of these four items above should fix your Whirlpool Cabrio DU error code. I always recommend troubleshooting the cheapest fix first then work backwards. First inspect the lid lock and see if there might be some detergent causing the switch to stick. In some cases the switch won’t lock and in others it won’t unlock. If there isn’t any obvious signs of detergent causing the malfunction or your lid hasn’t been bent up in such away that the latch can’t lock or unlock, then replace lid latch assembly. If that doesn’t fix your problem, the next part that is probably at fault is the control board.

Here’s a video that will show you how to replace the lid latch assembly.
